NC 15 is schedulded for release for early December 2018 - do we need 3 major versions in one year?

@JimmyKater you pose good questions, maybe @jospoortvliet could provide some answers-

Let me just raise some points “from the outside”, as I am not related to Nextcloud GmbH

  1. Nextcloud had

    • 3 releases in 2016
    • 1 releases in 2017
    • it will have 3 releases in 2018
      If you look at it, we do not have enough data but the “strange” year could have been 2017
  2. Nextcloud GmbH has to hit the right balance between having a reliable product and having a product with more functionalities than the competitors. Tough endeavour for everybody

  3. Nextcloud (the firm and the community) is trying to improve the life of the app developers; as far as I understood that is the purpose of the Vue.js components, reusable by the app developers. Of course the improvement will lead to the need of modifications of the apps…

  4. Nextcloud has yet some weak spots. … Documentation… (Status of Nextcloud community)

  5. Nextcloud is developing some interesting features. I do agree that “featuritis” is a bad disease for software. Yet I still have the impression that some good ideas about collaboration that @frank illustrated years ago in some speeches still require a lot of features to be developed. The final goal was not yet reached, they are trying to reach it and they know that they cannot be too slow…

I do agree that we need both solid software and satisfied sysadmins and app developers. I hope that Nextcloud will manage to reach this goal
